DataSecAI 2025 Roundup: Cyera Connects Data, Identity, and Access to Secure the Agentic Era

AI is an unprecedented driver of innovation and productivity but at the same time it introduces new risks and disrupts traditional data security paradigms, changing how data is being accessed and how it moves, and expanding the attack surface. Sensitive information now flows not only between people and systems but also through autonomous agents in ways that traditional security tools cannot keep up with. Simply knowing what data you have, where it lives, and who or what can access it is no longer enough. To adopt AI at scale, organizations must continuously monitor how both human and AI identities interact with sensitive data, and the actions they take with that access.

At DataSecAI 2025, Cyera introduced Access Trail, Cy the AI Assistant, and a series of major platform updates designed to help security teams regain control over their increasingly-growing data estate in an AI-driven world. These innovations extend Cyera’s data and AI security capabilities to monitor, govern, and secure the growing web of human and AI interactions with sensitive data, allowing organizations to answer more questions faster and enable AI safely and responsibly.

Access Trail: Monitor Every Data Interaction and Take Action

Access Trail provides security teams a continuous, contextual view of how data is accessed and used. It records every interaction across users, systems, and AI tools, mapping each one to the sensitivity of the data and the identity involved. This creates a single source of truth for activity, enabling teams to: 

• Detect and investigate insider risks such as downloading or deletion of confidential files.
• Demonstrate compliance with verified activity evidence and quick report generation.
• Accelerate investigations by tracking the history of every activity by any identity.

Access Trail turns disconnected access logs into a dynamic and prioritized view of activity based on precise classification of sensitive regulatory and business data. It shows how information truly moves across an organization, revealing when and where risk emerges and providing the foundation for both proactive and reactive data security. Access Trail is now available in early access and you can learn more in our blog post.

Meet Cy: Your All-Knowing Data and AI Security Analyst

Cy is your new data and AI security copilot. It helps security, compliance, and governance teams detect and prioritize risks and complete manual tasks faster and more efficiently. You can converse with Cy to query data from across the Cyera platform using natural language and surface key insights on the riskiest identities, over-privileged datastores that contain sensitive data, data minimization opportunities, and more. Cy can also help you generate reports for audit or internal reporting purposes in seconds. 

Example questions you can ask Cy include:

• "What risks should I address today?"
• "What data minimization opportunities do I have?"
• "Create an Executive Risk Report for for my Finance and R&D Business Units"

Built on Cyera’s unified intelligence layer, Cy connects data, identity, and access information to quickly turn complex questions into informed decisions and fast resolutions. Cy is currently available in private beta. To try it out, existing Cyera customers can reach out to their account manager.  

AI-SPM: Map and Manage your AI Footprint

AI applications, agents, and models are continuously being adopted and used across the organization, often without visibility or governance. Cyera’s AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) gives organizations the visibility into their AI assets, what data they can access, and who owns or has access to them.

With expanded discovery and automation capabilities, AI-SPM users can:

• Identify shadow AI tools and applications across cloud and SaaS.
• Correlate data interactions and identities with Access Trail for full traceability.
• Apply contextual policies that limit sensitive data exposure and enforce ownership.

AI-SPM, now available in early access, helps teams manage their AI footprint responsibly, reducing risk while supporting rapid innovation.

AI Protect: Real-Time Guardrails for AI

AI adoption is increasing at unprecedented speed, making it challenging for security teams to keep up and protect their organizations while not slowing down innovation. Cyera AI Protect provides intelligent guardrails that prevent unauthorized access of human and AI identities to sensitive data, keeping it from being exposed or shared in violation of policy. It allows security teams to define how AI tools interact with data, monitor activity in real time, and automatically enforce controls when violations such as prompt injection and employee misuse occur.

Support for public AI domains and Microsoft Copilot is now generally available. AI Protect for custom, homegrown AI applications is in early access. 

Omni DLP: Stop Managing Noise, Start Automating DLP

DLP programs are noisy, reactive, and hard to manage. Omni DLP changes that by unifying siloed DLP tools through a single API-fed intelligence layer. Now, teams have a single source of truth for alerts, enabling them to act decisively with context, and focus on the risks that matter. Omni keeps learning from what it sees and what you teach it, surfacing patterns and recommending smarter policies. What once took hours of trial and error now takes minutes. The result: less time investigating alerts and tuning policies, and more time protecting the business.

Recent Omni DLP innovations help security teams get more from their DLP programs:

• Review complex policies faster and with fewer errors using an intuitive graphical view that clearly maps every rule and condition.
• Respond to DLP alerts faster by routing them to the right teams and owners.
• Improve accuracy of Omni DLP AI alert analysis by flagging false positives and adjusting severity.

Teams now see up to 97% fewer false positives and spend less time managing policies, freeing them to be proactive instead of reactive. 

Connected Intelligence for a secure AI Era

AI has blurred the boundaries between people, data, and agents, significantly expanding the risk and attack surface organizations need to face. Cyera reconnects them by unifying data, identity, and access in a single, integrated platform, providing organizations the visibility to understand how sensitive data is used and the control to secure it continuously. And with Cy, it is now easier and faster to answer complex questions and complete grueling tasks, which allows security and data teams to enable safe AI adoption with confidence.
